Hi, I did recent significant upgrade to a:
Asus 780i spec Striker II Formula MB bios1601
Intel Q9300 CPU @ 442 2.655 core GHz, 3.31 GHz
NV based 9600gt OC @ 775 core, 1026 MHz Mem (linked), 1959 MHz Shader
NV 175.92
4GB 1066 mem on Vista 32 ultimate
24" LCD 5ms
Blah blah...

I think I've gone about the build back to front. I should have known how it runs then built a system to match! To use a LFS analogy, you wouldn't use the best F1 setup at BL in autocross! It just doesn't work.

What I really want to know is how is the LFS program built? As in, what requirements are needed to run the program optimally from a hardware point of view? The architechture so to speak.

I'm no computer pro, but as I understand it, some programs use or need one thread or multiple threads and therefore having the fastest multi core cpu may go slower than a fast single core cpu.

So, is the program reliant on a cpu that provides single or multiple cores?
What type of Graphics engine is it? ie Open GL, GUI?
What is the current best way to build a system for LFS?

I hope I've asked the right questions. Please don't go too technical.

Hi,

It may be a good idea to show the circuit map while still garaged pre pit entry.

This would help with good track re entry planning in qualifying. It may help reduce spoiled qualifying laps.

Well that one slipped through! I was racing F1 AI's!! I hadn't noticed it had been changed by another user and it was the first time I'd raced the FBM. Oops. I'm still struggling to get out of the 1:18's though.

Ta anyway,

RS.
PS How's Glasgow, I'm from Coatbridge.

There is a significant difference in acceleration between my FBM and the Ai's from stationary or slow corner etc at BL.

Even if I jump a start, the Ai's mow me down by 3rd gear. I can catch them under brakes in turn 1 at BL and go quicker through the chicane, but as they enter the straight they just take off, leaving me way behind. I can only get 1:18's/ 19's which really sucks. The AI's put at least 200m into me before turn 1.

I've checked all the hardware pedals (newish G25) for travel with no problems. I've even tried out the DX Tweek 2 with no postive results. I've tried Newbie through to Pro with no change. I've used top setups from the site.
Is it normal to have such a difference in acceleration?

Ta. RS.
